ISync not xfering Contacts to Motorola 815

I have previously iSync'd contacts from my Mac to my Motorola 815 successfully. Recently, I had to perform a phone reset, clearing all phone data, and figured I'd just iSync my contacts to restore them but it's not working. The phone pairs, and seems to go thru the sync'ng process but no contacts are ever transferred. I've tried deleting and re-adding the phone, resetting the device, clearing the sync history, all to no avail.
Any ideas? This one is perplexing because it's worked before, and it seems to pair successfully.
Thanks!

According to a post of this thread  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374208 it should be possible to go back from iCloud to MM and restart the Sync.
Try.

  • Isync Tiger BUG: Contacts created in phone don't sync into Addressbk Group

    This is a bug I've encountered with iSync running on Tiger.
    I use iSync to sync my AddressBook contacts with my Motorola Razor.
    I have many contacts, but I only need a few of them synced with my phone, so I created a Group called "Phone" in AddressBook.app, and have set my sync preferences in iSync to sync only those contacts in the contacts group "Phone".
    When I create a new contact in the phone, and then sync with iSync, the new contact does NOT appear in my designated Group "Phone", but instead in the "All" contacts category. This didn't happen in Leopard.
    What this means is that if I ever need to restore my contacts on my phone, none of the contacts that I created on the phone will be synced b/c they are NOT in the "phone" group, but in the All contacts category.
    If my iSync preferences are set to sync with a particular AddressBook Group, then NEW CONTACTS created in the PHONE should update to that designated GROUP, and not be considered non-categorized in the AddressBook.app.

    You must be mistaken (or very lucky!). This issue was definately around in Tiger too.
    Do a search on these forums for the same issue, and you'll see it comes up time and time again going back many years, relating to all versions of Mac OS X and iSync.
    Here's just a few:

    You can even see in iSync's window that there's an option to "Put events created on phone into:" pop-up, but no equivalent option for Contacts.

  • IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

    I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
    The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
    Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
    It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
    iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
    Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

    Hey lim_my,
    Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
    I don't have MobileMe.
    Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
    Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
    Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
    You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.

    I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
    So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?

  • ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server...

    has anyone else gotten this message? and if so, what's the fix. i've talked to a "level 2" tech at apple and he had no clue.
    "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"
    this happens if i have contacts checked to sync. it synced fine on 6/30 but have been getting this problem today 7/1.

    I'm having this same problem and I've tried all the other fixes in this forum, except yours. Could you please be more specific? My question is below:
    1.) erased the iPhone via iPhone settings. --> where is "iPhone settings"?
    2.) deleted my pda from iSync
    3.) plugged in the iPhone and restored it via iTunes
    4.) resynced and everything is back to normal.

  • "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected"

    OK, I have an MBP (10.6.4), iTunes 10.0.1, iPod touch 4.1, and an odd contacts sync problem.
    When I try to sync all my contacts from address book I get "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected". If I only sync some subset of the contacts, that works fine. If I create a new group that contains all the contacts, it barfs.
    I have tried resetting and reinstalling, and deleting the backups.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Did you try to reset the sync history in iSync on the Mac?

  • ITunes could not sync contacts or iCal to the iPhone sync server failed

    *+iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "Username" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone+*
    I have read most of the post on this subject and have tried most of the solutions as they applied to me however resulting in same error message as above.
    I have performed the following:
    1. Reset iSync History
    2. Installed the latest version of iTunes 7.5.2
    3. Installed the latest version of iPhone software 1.1.2
    4. Removed folders and files from the Library.
    What I haven't done and only will do as a last resort.
    1. Reinstall Tiger
    2. Purchased and Installed Leopard
    3. Restore iPhone settings
    Does anyone have a viable solution? Thanks in advance!

    I called Apple Tech Support and spoke with a Product Specialist. He helped me resolved the issue.

  • HELP! iPhone 3GS stuck in recovery loop and iTunes gives error message" iPod update server can not be contacted"

    As I said, it's an iPhone 3GS (never jailbroken), iOS 4.1, PowerPC G4 OS X 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2. I have had the phone since new, never had any issues with it and am at my wits end trying to figure it out. I have seen many different solutions to this exact problem, but none have worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?

    This is what I posted to someone else having an update issue... Just for your information:
    I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be  restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could  not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the  iPhone  3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to  update  it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are  having  the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an  update issue.  I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to  update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't  update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this  issue and that if  there was a way to update it to the update before  this last one it  might be a solution. I don't know how to get the  previous update. Apple  probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't  come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet.  The tech suggested that  there might be something wrong with the phone  itself, but that couldn't  be since it was working perfectly before I  updated it and others are  having the same issue. It is highly unlikely  that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a  sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
    Also:  I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an  issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches  my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I  have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are  clueless at the moment from what I can tell).

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.
